by Oliver Haslam on Mar 8, 2012

If you’re anything like us, and if you’re reading this you probably are, then you’re the kind of person who likes to kick back with a coffee and enjoy a good Apple event in all its glory. That means on a big-screen TV, not hunched over a MacBook screen.

Apple to keep entry-level iPad 2 around for $399

by Cody on Mar 7, 2012

It looks like a lot of our forecasts are materializing today, including the iPad 2 sticking around. We figured we’d see Apple continue to sell last year’s tablet after today, with a bit of a price drop to appeal to a wider audience.

And that’s exactly what it’s doing. Apple just announced that it will be keeping the iPad 2 around for folks that aren’t impressed with the new slate’s features starting at just $399… Read More

by Cody on Mar 7, 2012

Apple’s iPad 3 event has begun, and the company’s CEO Tim Cook has just taken the stage to get things started. Judging by his words, the theme of today’s announcements is going to be “post PC products” (duh).

As with every Apple event, the company is kicking things off by talking about numbers. After all, numbers are what define whether or not a company is successful. And judging by this data, Apple’s doing pretty good… Read More

A new $99 Apple TV tomorrow?

by Sebastien on Mar 6, 2012

Tomorrow’s event won’t be exclusively about the iPad 3, as 9to5Mac confirms what we’ve heard before about an Apple TV refresh:

We’ve gotten a few more tidbits about tomorrow’s Apple TV announcement (Oh, there will be a new iPad too!). The Apple TV J33 model, MD199LL/A – J33 BEST -USA, which we’ve covered before will come in at the same $99 price point (and similar prices globally). We know from previous reports that it will have updated hardware internally including Bluetooth 4.0 Broadcom chip as well as a higher powered processor capable of 1080P video.

This is definitely not a surprise. As a matter of fact, we dedicated a whole section of our predictions for tomorrow’s event about the Apple TV.

9to5Mac also mentions a mystery accessory that would be available for $39. It likely is a dock, cable, or maybe a new remote. All those questions will be answered tomorrow, so make sure to tune in to iDB for the full coverage.
